STAR/CHILD: The Astrology of Family
Psychology & Relationships
About
STAR/CHILD is all about how astrology shapes us and all our closest relationships. On this weekly reading, get into the family dynamics we’re born into, how be bring those into the families we find and create for ourselves (whatever that looks like), and the relationship we have with our inner child — and how the contours of all of it get brought to light by the week's astrology. It’s about unpacking how we were parented and how that affects every connection in our lives — not just with our kids but with friends, partners, and anyone who feels like family. Each week, we’ll talk through the astrology of the upcoming week and what it means for us and the important relationships in our lives. From decoding a child’s chart to figure out what makes them feel safe and supported, to asking hard questions about how to break cycles and show up better for the people we love — this podcast is about using astrology to make sense of it all. Whether you’re a parent, thinking about your own parents, or just figuring out how to not ruin the people you care about, we're talking to you here.
